It will be transformed by the skin enzymes into MAP, an anti-oxidant and a cofactor for an enzyme crucial in the synthesis of collagen. As an anti-oxidant agent, BIO- Intensive C-Boost scavenges and destroys reactive oxidizing agents and other free radicals. It provides important protection against damage induced by UV radiation (and the DNA mutations and cancer that may result from it). MAP also improves skin elasticity, decreases wrinkles by stimulating collagen synthesis, reduces redness, promotes wound healing and suppresses cutaneous pigmentation.
